On this episode of Tent Show Radio, beloved singer/songwriter
trio The Wailin' Jennys perform a career
spanning set, showcasing some of the most exciting and
exquisite music on the folk-roots scene.
The Wailin’ Jennys are Nicky Mehta, Ruth Moody and Heather Masse
—three distinct voices that together make an achingly perfect vocal
sound. Musical chemistry and a dedicated following turned this
one-off grouping of three singer/songwriters into one of today’s
most beloved international folk groups. Although known primarily as
an acoustic outfit, The Wailin’ Jennys have a wide range of musical
backgrounds that have formed their musical sensibilities.
After the 2004 release of their first-full length album, the
critically acclaimed 40 Days , and due to their frequent
appearances on Garrison’s Keillor’s public radio show A Prairie
Home Companion, The Jennys exploded onto the roots music
scene, performing at packed venues across the U.S. and throughout
the world. Their next album, Firecracker , was a powerful
follow-up to their debut album and found The Jennys stepping out of
the folk realm and into the world of alt-country, pop and rock.
Garnering much attention, it was nominated for a Juno Award and won
a 2007 Folk Alliance Award for “Contemporary Release of the Year.”
It charted for over 56 weeks on the Billboard charts and was
followed up by their 2009 release Live at the Mauch Chunk Opera
House, which spent over a year on the Billboard bluegrass
charts.
Through numerous solo endeavors and more than twenty years since
their formation, The Wailin’ Jennys continue to create some of the
most exciting and exquisite music on the folk-roots scene, stepping
up their musical game with each critically-lauded recording and
thrilling audiences with their renowned live performances.
